c.Robin have no admin access
to her laptop and thus did not have the
opportunity to test out test software. But they both look acceptable.

d.Action Items:

1.Robin: will get admin
access to her laptop and try out the above software systems and decide on one.

2.Mike: will get CCC IT
department to install both of the software on their lab machines. We hope one
of these software will be usable. If it turns out we need another software, we
will work with that.

2.Classroom recording equipment: With the above software, for each recording we would
need:

a.Camera with tripod (or some kind of stand): a simple 1-2
M pixel camera should be sufficient

b.Microphone

c.Harddrive or thumbsticks?

d.The idea is we will record directly to digitally.

e.Action Items:

1.Kelvin: Go get one
set of equipment

2.Mike and Kelvin:
figure out how to get the equipment working at CCC.

3.Classroom recording procedure:

a.Groups: we have
decided that we should record all of
the students that do not opt out being recorded and will randomly choose three
(3) groups for study.

b.Exercises: we will record 3 sets of exercises.

4.Classroom
record schedules:

a.First day visit: to announce to students about the
project and their option of opting out.

1.Action Items:

1.Mike: Identify exact
date and time

2.David (or Robin)
will go to Mike’s class.

b.Exercise schedules: we need to know the exact three days
where the recording will occur.

1.Action Items:

1.Mike: report back
with the exact date and time

2.Mike: to find out the
labs availability for setups before the his class so that we can setup the lab
for recording

2.Later,
responsibilities:

1.Kelvin + Mike:
equipment setup for the recording on those days

2.Robin: supervise the
recording section on those days

5.Survey
forms:Cinnamon reported on her research into computer science
survey forms and found appropriate candidates with validated results. Cinnamon
pointed out that we would need to filter/customize the forms to reflect on the
“game-themed” aspect of our study.

a.Action Items:

1.Cinnamon: will
combine and filter the survey forms into our own pre- and post- course surveys.

6.Exercises: we need to include explicit goals for each of the
exercises, these goals should fall into two categories:
